THE PREZ SEZ
Hello everyone, I hope all is well and that none of you are affected as badly as I am with the dreaded “Cabin Fever”. This horrible malady is sure taking its toll on a lot of us this winter. If there is one thing that I can say with any amount of certainty about this winter it is that we will all be quite happy to see its departure. Unfortunately, all we can do is wait it out, and hope that it doesn’t keep its grip much longer. Heck, March will be here in less than a week & Daylight Savings Time arrives is less than two weeks, then Spring officially arrives one week after the time change takes effect.
It’s been so long since I used my detector that I’ve probably forgotten most of what I had learned about using it, however, I feel confident that it’ll all come rushing back in just as soon as I can get out into the warmth of the sun with detector in hand and that urge hits me; that Nagging, uncontrollable, irresistible urge to dig up something from the past. I’m sure you all know of that which I speak.
Till then, let’s all think “Spring” and hopefully we’ll have some nice weather for our next meeting, on Thursday, March 5th. Hope to see you all there.
RED CRAFT --- President BCDC
